You just need to learn how to feel your way through movements with balance, it comes over time. But knowing where to "check" for your own self-correction is helpful in the meantime: distance between your feet in a comfortable stance, wide but not splayed; make sure your weight is on the balls of your feet and not too far on the heels or the blades of the feet (the outside or inside edge, meaning pronating or supinating (you can look that up on running forums)). Make sure your head is over your hips and feet, not too far forward or back. Keep your strikes reasonably within the "frame" of your body, not swinging too much out from your core and generating power and movement mainly from the legs and torso for everything.

Take hold of a chair or the wall with your hand. Allow the chair or wall to assist you with your balance while you slowly perform the teep motions. Remember to move gently and pay attention to every detail of your body's movement as you perform the teep to maintain balance. There would be no need of any coach, you can learn it on your own.

Maintaining a proper Muay Thai stance and balance during fights is crucial for both offense and defense. Here are some tips:

  1. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.
  2. Distribute your weight evenly between both legs.
  3. Slightly bend your knees to maintain flexibility and mobility.
  4. Tuck in your chin to protect your face and keep your hands up.
  5. Stay on the balls of your feet, ready to pivot and move.
  6. Engage your core muscles for stability.
  7. Practice shadowboxing and drills to reinforce good posture and balance.
  8. Stay relaxed and fluid to adapt quickly to your opponent's movements.

Maint­aining a proper Muay Thai stance and balance is essential for novice fighters. To achieve this, here are some helpful tips:

  1. Keep your feet shoulde­r-width apart, with your lead foot slightly turned inward. This position provides stability and allows for quick moveme­nt.
  2. Distr­ibute your weight evenly between both legs. By doing so, you maintain a solid foundation while also being ready to react quickly.
  3. Keep your knees slightly bent to ensure both stability and mobility. This posture enables you to stay grounded while maintaining the flexi­bility necessary for effective strike­s.
  4. Engage your core muscles to enhance balance and stability throughout your movem­ents. A strong core not only contributes to overall body control but also protects against potential attacks.
  5. Always keep your hands up in order to safeguard your face and maintain a strong guard at all times. Your hands serve as the first line of defense against incoming strike­s.
